I am not sure what could make a FS decide that for the same file, one
file descriptor should use direct I/O and another should not.

Keeping the flag at file descriptor level would require VFS modification
in the kernel: the filesystem knows nothing about file descriptors, it
just know vnodes. It could be done, but I expect to meet resistance :-)
